In a previous version of this story, a police official said that Thomas Thomas had admitted to unlawful sexual touching. Thomas instead “corroborated a lot of what the victim was saying” but did not actually admit to the unlawful sexual touching, Chief Deputy Jeff Trafton of the Waldo County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.
